Can blow-drying the moisture from the affected area kill mold or stop its growth?

Question

There is mold in my kitchen behind the stove and the cabinets caused by the leakage form the dishwasher. The leaky dishwasher was replaced by the management and they say they'll blow dry the area under the cabinets/counter and say that'll take care of the mold. Do you think this will help us? We are very worried that blow-dring may infact release more mold spres into the air. Do you think we should do this? The management is not ready to clean behind the counters because they'll have to pull down the kitchen counters for that.
Can somebody kindly advise? Should we consider moving from this place if the management says they cannot do anything for the area behind the cabinets?
Please help!!

Answer 1

you're exactly right, in fact blow drying will release the mold spores into the air. the management is insane!!! there are only a couple things that will kill the mold (bleach is NOT one of them) and i think you should either get out of there or put your foot down and have them call a mold remediation specialist in. i was in the industry for years and it bothers me when i hear of people having poor solutions for mold. you can get very ill from mold (most likely your place isn't at this phase yet, i'm talking mushrooms growing from the ceiling) but it should be taken care of properly.

We had mold in our home once, and cleaning it was a major job that had to be handled by professionals our insurance company hired. Your manager needs to have his insurance company take care of this. I can tell you that there is no such thing as a little mold. If you can see a little, there is a lot you can't see. If the management won't call the insurance company to remediate this, just move out. This isn't your problem, and you should not deal with it.

P.S. Don't use a blow dryer! If they try to blow dry your mold, run for your life.

What sort of management structure do you have they are round the bend with their advice mold needs to be cleared with a proprietary mold killer and you need to be aware of the instructions on how to use this. Much better if the mold is rampant, to get a professional to do the job it will pay off in the long term but it will not, go away just advance more and more quickly.

hey that's a tough one...i would not think blow drying it would help. i believe the only thing that stops mold is bleach. you need to clean the area with bleach..if they are not willing to fix the mold problem behind the cabinets..i would either move or call the health dept. you could get very sick from mold and mildew. it is not safe at all. i hope this helps..good luck
